I'm assuming that Toffoli is being targeted for the reason he is a good compromise and will not cost the 1st overall. If the 1st overall is in play, they should have gone after Hall hard. Otherwise, bigger fish like Kreider should be the target.
Toffoli at anything more than a 2nd+ would be an overpayment by the Flames, who haven't shown they are willing to make overpayments for deadline acquisitions thus far. It would be a huge turn (and one I don't want to see) to see the organization throw a 1st at Toffoli.
